Text MK to 989898. A new development in the search for missing 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie. As Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos says he has ruled out members of Nancy's family as suspects for the first time. In a statement released yesterday afternoon, Sheriff Nanos writing, quote, has been cleared as possible suspects in this case. The family has been nothing but cooperative and gracious and are victims in this case.

How are U.S.-Hungary relations being strengthened?

To suggest otherwise is not only wrong, it is cruel. The clarification coming just one day after the sheriff told the Daily Mail that no one had been cleared in this case, and on the same day as a senior member of law enforcement familiar with this case told the Megyn Kelly Show that no one had been ruled out. NBC's Tom Winter reporting, quote, There's no indication this is the result of any new evidence. We asked the sheriff's department what changed between his first two statements to allow investigators to definitively rule out the Guthrie family, but did not receive a response. Fox News' Matt Finn questioning the department on whether DNA evidence helped clear the family. Sheriff Nanos replying, quote, not going there, they're victims, and I will not stand quiet when they are re-victimized.

The reason for the holdup is unclear, but it's yet another delay for the Guthrie family awaiting justice in this case. MK True Crime host Phil Holloway, a lawyer and former law enforcement officer himself, breaking down Sheriff Nanos' decision to reverse himself and publicly rule out the family yesterday.

What actions will the administration take on ultra-processed foods?

Phil Holloway 3:58
Well, it seems like it might be a little premature, just generally speaking, in any criminal case to issue a blanket clearance like that until you know who your suspect or suspects, in the plural, might be. I think that this statement is... more of a reflection of pressure that the sheriff is undoubtedly receiving because the public has speculated and many have claimed that certain family members might be considered suspects so i imagine the sheriff is under some political pressure to try to tamp that down but i think he may have miscalculated because this statement
